Datang: Rebirth of Li Chengqian, the beginning of the treason interrogation

Chapter 77: The pale-faced scholar Liu Rengui was ordered to go to war
After dismissing Li Daliang, Li Shimin announced that he would no longer meet with his ministers, and then walked towards the harem.

As expected, he walked towards Wu Cairen's palace as usual.

Ever since Empress Changsun passed away, he really felt as if he had become a lonely person, and no one could truly understand his inner joys, sorrows, anger and happiness anymore.

However, in the past year, he was pleasantly surprised to find that Wu Cairen could actually understand his thoughts, and when he encountered doubts, Wu Cairen could discuss solutions with him.

Regardless of whether he was used to this change or not, Wu Cairen became an important person for him to confide in.

"Your Majesty seems to be in a good mood. I'm sure the memorial service at the Temple of Martial Arts went very smoothly, right?"

Wu Cairen walked towards Li Shimin slowly, her eyes revealing her understanding and concern for Li Shimin.

"Yes, it is indeed going smoothly. Wu Cairen, come over and help me loosen my shoulders."

A trace of fatigue appeared on Li Shimin's face.

"Your Majesty, you look a little tired. How about I ask the imperial physician to take a look?"

Wu Cairen suggested thoughtfully, his eyes full of concern.

"It's an old problem. Whenever the weather changes, my body aches. It's a symptom left over from previous battles and raids."

Li Shimin lay on the bed, enjoying Wu Cairen's massage.

"Master, someone is coming from the palace!"

In a relatively poor courtyard in Changxingfang, a servant shouted hurriedly.

Someone is coming from the palace!

Liu Rengui put down the pen in his hand, stood up suddenly, his face gloomy and uncertain.

"Master Jieshizhong, could it be that the Minister Liu Yifu is slandering you in front of the emperor again?"

The housekeeper in the mansion couldn't help but worry.

"Let's go and welcome them!" Liu Rengui did not dare to delay, but walked out quickly. No matter what, he could not disrespect the eunuchs in the palace.

Eunuchs are also called inner servants.

"Congratulations to the Lord of the Imperial Censorate! No, it should be congratulations to the Lord of the Central Army!"

The eunuch in the palace was smiling and raised his hand to congratulate Liu Rengui before he could even salute.

As a eunuch in the palace, how could he not know that Liu Rengui was favored by the prince.

"I dare not. Please ask Sergeant Liu to come into the inner room."

"Someone, go outside and buy a pack of good tea cakes."

Liu Rengui was an honest official, so his house was very poor and there was no luxury item like tea.

Also because he could not stand the corruption of other officials, he often spoke out directly, which caused dissatisfaction among Li Yifu and others.

This is cutting off other people's livelihoods. If Li Shimin had listened to it, those people would have been skinned alive.

Therefore, Liu Rengui was not satisfied with his career in officialdom and was often impeached.

"No need to spend so much money. I am here just to convey the will of the Saint."

Eunuch Liu handed a roll of yellow cloth to Liu Rengui.

"Liu Shi, what's going on?"

Liu Rengui bowed and took it, and read the imperial edict carefully, which ordered him to follow the navy into battle and be promoted to the rank of Lieutenant General of the Left Guard of the Navy.

"Sir General, you should thank His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for your recommendation." Eunuch Liu said with a smile, clasping his hands and bowing to the sky.

Your Royal Highness?

Liu Rengui was even more confused. He was not familiar with the prince and could not even say a word to him.

There's something weird everywhere.

"Sir, I have to go back and report. I'll take my leave now."

Eunuch Liu bowed and took his leave.

Liu Rengui just stood there, unable to figure out the key.

"Master, great joy!"

The butler on the side said excitedly, with a happy look on his face.

"Whether it is a happy event or not, we don't know yet." Liu Rengui shook his head. He had never participated in military affairs, so this was just forcing him to do something.

He was also appointed to the title of General of the Central Army, a powerful official below the fourth rank.

Above him, there were only one or two generals whose ranks were higher than his, and they were responsible for commanding troops in battle.

For him, he really doesn't know whether it is a blessing or a curse, but he has no qualms about serving the country.

Liu Ren bowed towards the east with a serious look on his face. After all, he was promoted.

……

As the expedition was approaching, Li Chengqian still had many concerns, so he went over his properties and explained everything in detail before he felt at ease to leave.

As if possessed by some mysterious force, he walked back into the medical hall.

When I arrived at the medical clinic, there were still so many people seeking treatment.

From a distance, I saw Sun Ruoshi still performing acupuncture on people.

"Let's stop here for today! I've consumed too much energy."

Sun Ruoshi said to the patient outside the door that acupuncture requires a lot of concentration.

There are numerous acupuncture points in the human body, and they are arranged closely. Acupuncture can save lives, but it can also kill people.

"I heard that we will be marching in the middle of the month?"

After Sun Ruoshi took the silver needle, she said lightly.

"Yes! I will be leaving in the middle of the month, and there are only a few days left. I came here today to say goodbye."

Li Chengqian was also extremely indifferent.

"By the way, isn't Dr. Sun here?"

He came here many times but never saw Sun Simiao.

"Grandpa went to the Imperial Hospital to write prescriptions. He hasn't been back to the clinic for a long time."

Sun Ruoshi walked out of the courtyard and stayed inside for a long time, feeling very depressed.

"The old genius doctor Sun left his unique skills to the world, which is a great achievement."

Sun Simiao has great justice in his heart and is a compassionate doctor, and he is worthy of respect.

"My grandfather said that if it can be passed down to future generations, then the person who invented movable type printing will be the one who has made a great contribution to the world. He not only passed down medicine, but also passed down hundreds of academic studies."

Sun Ruoshi also said with great admiration.

"By the way, the Medical Hall will also go with the army this time to rescue the wounded soldiers of our Tang Dynasty."

"Oh!"

Li Chengqian nodded, not surprised. After all, many civilian doctors were also drafted into the army to participate in medical rescue work during the war.

At this time, Sun Ruoshi suddenly said, "I'll go too!" She stared at Li Chengqian closely, her eyes firm and clear.

Hearing this, Li Chengqian was shocked. He frowned and said worriedly, "The army is full of soldiers. It will be inconvenient for a woman like you to go there, and the battlefield is very dangerous."

In fact, on the battlefield, the biggest threat does not come from the enemy, but from the unpredictable and severe weather.

The reason why Li Shimin experienced an undefeated defeat was precisely due to the bad climatic conditions.

When Li Shimin led his army to attack Goguryeo, although he only lost a few thousand soldiers, tens of thousands of soldiers died of cold and hunger during the retreat.

Sun Ruoshi had done him a favor before, so Li Chengqian would never agree to such a dangerous thing, and he was worried about it.

"They can go, why can't I?"

Sun Ruoshi smiled, looking very beautiful.

"Danger is always with us doctors. Entering an epidemic area is much more dangerous than treating the wounded after a war. And don't forget, doctors treat everyone equally, regardless of gender."

Li Chengqian said sternly: "I don't agree!"

"You are such a funny person. Why do you disagree?" Sun Ruoshi chuckled.

Yes, why should I do that? Li Chengqian was also stunned.
